Jupiter 8 on Zorki 4 with HP5+

I have been shooting quite a bit of film lately and the Zorki 4 is a handy - and a little quirky - camera.
I really like the diopter adjuster.
The lens is useful but the aperture ring on mine is so loose that it moves off its setting if I am not careful. Is there any way to take the slop out of it I wonder?
Anyhoo - here is the camera and lens followed by some images from the roll of HP5+

I use the same camera with the same lens, and I like it too Smile.

About the ring, it is simply screwed on the body. If you remove the optical bloc, you should be able to do something with this problem because you will have direct access to the diaph ring.
If I remember right, you simply have to remove the tightening ring on the back (inside the lens).
Sorry for my english, hard to explain...

Some nice photos.
Hope you can fix the problem with your lens.
I have a couple Zorki 6 cameras and find them enjoyable to use.
I do have a Zorki 4, but it needs some work.
